Japanese are yet again aghast at the results of surveys demonstrating marriage in Japan is rather less monogamous than might be suspected.

A survey of 500 Japanese housewives found 14.8% freely admitted they they had sex with someone other than their husband whilst married.

Quizzed as to how many partners they had, most admitted to having had many – 60.8% had “2-5,” followed by 36.5% with “1” and 2.7% with “6-10.”

A marriage writer familiar with such matters comments that “2-5 is the most common number we see here, so it would seem once you’ve done it once the hurdle to taking further partners really lowers. Also, a lot of people refer to this as ‘extra-marital romance’ rather than ‘adultery,’ lessening the sense of guilt.”

Such extramarital trysts were generally long lasting – 48.6% reporting their longest affair lasted over 3 years, whilst 20.3% had ones lasting 1-6 months, 13.5% 1-3 years, 6.8% 6-12 months and only 10.8% under a month.

The writer remarks that “such affairs tend to last a long time as a way of preventing the family from collapsing. And with cell phones, adultery is easier than ever.”

The survey also found no correlation between adulterous liaisons and the absence of sex in the marriage itself – so called “sexless” marriages being extremely common in Japan, a nation which generally comes in quite low in national comparisons of actual sexual activity.

Japan’s menfolk are in no position to criticise, however – according to a similar survey published by the Monthly Charger, only 44.8% of men reported they had “never” cheated on their wives – whilst 20.4% had ‘only’ had sex with prostitutes, another 20.4% only having cheated, and the remaining 14.4% having enjoyed both prostitution and infidelity.

2ch is apparently full of experts on the topic as well:

“Housewives with kids meet a lot of people so I suppose this helps.”

“First they get people to start calling casual prostitution ‘compensated dating,’ next adultery is ‘extramarital romance’ – when will these idiot women be satisfied?”

“Why are people so keen to dissuade single men from marrying with these kinds of findings?”

“They want to destroy Japan!”

“This is just some Korean survey designed to make Japan’s women look loose!”

“The figures seem a bit low really, I’d expect another 20% holding out on the survey.”

“1 in 7 is excessively low, what a bunch of liars!”

“I’d have thought 60-70% – if you limit it to wives who aren’t hideous.”

“When women do it, it’s extramarital romance. When men do it, it’s cheating and infidelity…”

“The surveyers are a bit simple for thinking women would answer this truthfully.”

“Today’s housewives are the enko generation so I doubt these figures will stay so low.”

“Wives in sexless marriages give some hot sex with all that pent up lust. Shame about the deterioration from childbirth though.”

“I don’t even have a boyfriend, how am I going to get in on this…”

“Get your kit off!”

“The way the original article is written is almost an endorsement of women’s right to cheat.”

“They really do seem intent on beautifying this…”

“When the mass media trot out random surveys like this, I fail to see how they are really any credible than the dross people spew onto 2ch.”

“And yet married men who use prostitutes are completely tolerated. Are you in any position to criticise women? This is just sexism.”

“The proportion of Japanese men who are unfaithful is probably triple this figure.”

“It must be 90% if you include prostitution.”

“In Arab nations they stone adulterous women to death, Japan could learn a lot from them!”

“Enjoy all those STDs.”

“So their husbands are just considered ATMs. Kind of like all those men who think sex with prostitutes doesn’t count as cheating on their wives and girlfriends?”

as some one who has lived in japan for 3 years(still here) as an English teacher let me tell you some things, this place is quite NTR during the 3 years I have slept with 6 married women(2 of them I still see 3 of them were to the mothers of the very children I teach 1 was a woman I met while waiting for the train and she got knocked over and me being the nice guy at the time helped her) these woman either easily get bored with their lives and want excitement because of their boring sex or sexless lives they need an outlet others need that outlet from the stress of their husbands never home or their children or jobs even, one of my students mothers told me this ” my husband like most Japanese men are absorbed with their work he is rarely home and when he is he doesn’t get there he is usually drunk and goes straight to bed and is gone before I get up, I hate being alone so I would go to men for the attention I felt that I as a woman deserved, the last time I actually had a passionate night with my husband would’ve had to been 3 months ago(this conversation happened like a year ago)and I honestly don’t feel guilty over it because it helps keep my family stable.” I, as a moral man, feel somewhat guilty for taking these women but in the overall spectrum of romance here. As a red blooded man,I feel proud of myself for giving these women what they want and that is get thoroughly fucked multiple times ( i’m sure i might have gotten at least one pregnant cause homie don’t do rubbers). ok let me wrap it up here before I keep going in an endless rant. The biggest reason these women seek or hope to get taken away by another man is because they want the satisfaction of physical contact that they can’t get from their lovers or husbands,they want to be ravished physcially and crave the aspect of feeling full (both in satisfaction and in emotion)
/end rant fyi I don’t plan to stop my NTRing

I’m of the opinion that the only thing keeping most people from being happy in a relationship is themselves. If having sex with more than one person is your thing, let your partner know early on. If they’re receptive to the idea (and a surprising number of people are if you’re direct with them) then you can experiment together, responsibly. If they’re not receptive and it’s something that you really want, then you know that you probably need someone who is a better fit for your needs. Either way, you’ve resolved the issue fairly, rather than going behind your partner’s back.

There are numerous reasons why marriages are unhappy, and non-monogamous sex is one of them you degenerate. If people waited until they were married instead of riding the cock carousal or “getting laid” marriages would be happier and last longer. It’s a statistical fact. HOW CAN YOU CLAIM YOU LOVE SOMEONE WHEN YOU WOULD RATHER SCREW SOMEONE ELSE.

Feminism just makes the whole thing worse, since that’s where a lot of this comes from.

As always, what kind of demographic were surveyed? 500 readers of a porn mag? Makes projecting the findings to a whole country very easy, eh?

Most surveys are like that. Surveys on a certain website, magazine or whatever only capture a certain demographic and can’t be used to generalize over a whole country much less the whole human population.

I am laughing my ass off actually, because one of the girls I met in japan already had a boyfriend but went with me instead. When the boyfriend found out we met him in front of the apartment, but when we met face to face the boy just sputtered and spewed while I held him by the cuff of his throat. He almost cried tears then slunk away.

His girlfriend’s response? “That’s why I broke up with him.”

NTR nation indeed. First hand experience really puts this in perspective. Japanese girls for everyone!

So I guess this means that a lot of those women working the hostess bars & advertising themselves on the dating sites are actually screwing each other’s husbands unbeknownst to many of them. I can just see this actually playing out:
Husband: I’ll be home late because the supervisor expects me to help treat our latest client to a good time at a bar.
Wife: It’s okay, I’ll be working late too at my “catering” job.
Later that night at one of the downtown “hostess” bars…
Husband: Well Mr. Client, the proprietor has promised to send us a couple of his best girls since we’re using the VIP booth tonight.
And then the girls show up…
Husband & Wife simultaneously (pointing at each other): Wh-what are [I]you[/I] doing here!? Wo-…working!

Not sure if this will change people’s opinions but, 14.8% of 500 is 74 woman. The percentages might seen big because they do the percentage of 74 woman and not 500. Also the survey does not inform us of who they interview such as age range and other aspects. For all we know they could of just found woman who they thought are unfaithful. This survey has no credit attached to it(the faq does that even mean lol?). People are getting way too exited over this B.S. I personally believe that if these were the real states of a country, there would be HIV STDS and all sorts of other things going around already. Now you look at USA. Which country is the one with NTR?

Is anyone surprised? This isn’t just limited to Japan. Cheaters exist everywhere. Men and woman cheat, though men seem to be treated more harshly for it. People seem more sympathetic toward women.

People cheat. It sucks but there it is. I’ve been cheated on though I can honestly say I haven’t cheated on any of my girlfriends, however I was tempted more than once.

Sometimes I really think people just weren’t meant to be monogamous. It seems there are just too many people who feel the need to spread their sexual encounters around between multiple partners. We try to hold ourselves to this “moral standard” of monogamy because that’s what tends to be considered “correct” but I wonder if we are just denying our natural instincts in the name of being “better than that”.

Monogamy’s quite uncommon across cultures, but ,sadly, so is polyandry.

The most suitable target for the word ‘cheating’ in the context would probably be the passing off of what is a manifestation of a hierarchy of power as a moral standard. It wouldn’t have to be reinforced so vehemently by different calibers of literature and other popular media if it was one. Even here they speak of guilt, which is also the writers’ favorite alleged consequence of masturbation. I’ve read about it multiple times, but I’ve yet to hear from a morally well-developed person who’d feel any guilt doing either. I never have.

People are customizable, and monogamy is a custom still supported by conservative extensive economical growth models, that tries to equalize the values of individuals on the mating market to stress only those aspects of such interactions it finds contributing to its interests. But it’s just like with the sexual taboos young people are being crippled with – you can come of age and realize polygamy’s always been there and – for your purposes – it’s better than the alternative. You risk a lot if you want to be open about it, though.

There are 128 million people in japan, 120 million adults. lets assume only 20 million of them are married (a sixth of the adult population). A sample size of 500 means NOTHING. Especially when there is nothing to compare it to.

People seem to forget that this isn’t an uncommon thing world wide. “Older” stay at home wives will fuck and suck their way through a stable of younger guys because their husband can’t satisfy them. These poor bastards get so beaten in by their jobs they come home practically lifeless.

I’m not saying it’s justified, life long commitments and death do they part so on and so forth, but can anyone really say it’s a surprise when these women speak up?

No because they let their women get away with ewerithing. If I remember right it was on discovery chanel where they said about every 6th woman cheats regullary on their husbands, and that every 7th of these cheaters also cuckold their husbands making them raise another guys kids.

Marriage wouldn’t be as flawed if it was intended to be ‘just for’ anything, whatever it would be. One of its main faults lies in trying to bundle unrelated matters together, so that the selling points obscure deficiencies or mismatches in other vital areas, leading to prolonged disasters.

Not really. I get veteran’s benefits which are shared with my wife. If we’d just lived together, she would have gotten nothing. A lot of benefit plans work that way, which is probably why gays fought for the right to marry.

this reminds me of american pie:
“if a girl tells you how many men she have had sex with, multiply it by three. that’s the real number”
“if a guy tells you how many girls he have had sex with, divide it by three. that’s the real number”

Sadly, I’ve forgotten the name. But I recall someone on this site saying that story was about how the 2 guys in the picture wanted the girl since high school. The guy sitting on the floor had the better grades and more promising future, so the girl married him. However, the other guy then got serious, got his life together, and took her away from the other guy in the sense that even though she stayed married to the guy on the floor, she bore the other guy’s child. And the guy on the floor was for some reason, unable to stop this from happening.

NTR would mean Killing Her , Killing Him , Killing Anyone else who knew about it before i found out and did nothing to stop it . And then go to the top of a tall building with a silenced sniper rifle to play pop the heads off people until they found me … moral of the story .. cheating hurts and cheaters need to Die or make sure that the only function to the “Relationship” is as Fuck buddies Period

It is extreme feminisim and things like americas “Title IX” that are causing problems in modern western cultures:
If a women asks out a man, it’s flirting.
If a man asks out a woman, its exual harrasmant.
If a woman wants to marry, it’s future planning.
If a man wants to marry a woman, it’s female oppression.
If a woman wants to have kids, it’s family planing.
If a man wants to have kids, it’s Rape!
If a women wants to have an abortion, then she is pro choice.
If a man wants her to have an abortion, it’s planned murder…

Men do hold a certain degree of power over women. It is simply a matter of female-male gender dynamics in terms of relationships and relative power.

Therefore, men are, at least in ideal, held to a slightly higher degree of standards then women, since we are the ‘go-getters’ vs. ‘defenders’. We must be more careful, respectful, and solid in our actions.

This however does not excuse irresponsibility in the part of women in terms of ruining their own dignity and worth by being not just irresponsible and impulsive and immature as a women, but as a human being. Their gender does not excuse them from same basic rights and responsibilities that people of either gender are beholden to: That is, respectful behavior, responsible actions, and a degree of dignified presence that commands gravity and respect.

If they are frivolous with how they dress or act, just as men are looked down for being so, then women must change their ways so that their presence doesn’t elicit derision or ‘being taken lightly’ but rather gravity and respect that the less expandable gender must have in order to maintain a degree of security for themselves. Just as men are given harsher sentences and little mercy is spared for their actions, so too must women realize that their gender does not excuse them from the most basic of responsibilities and discipline that makes the difference between a dignified and respectable mother figure vs. cheap slut and whore.

And that’s why you don’t argue with trolls. There are no meaningful arguments against insane troll logic.

How do they expect to get collecteble results with only 500 women??? they should have at least done a survey to 5000 women and then they would get true results… 500 women can just be found 4 km around your home…javascript:ToggleElement(‘p’);

I’m a girl and I would never cheat. I think it’s wrong and horrible. I even get a little jealous when my boyfriend looks at hentai or porn. (Yes, there are girls who look at this kind of website. There are plenty of girls who watch anime or play games at my high school and I’m sure 90% at least KNOW about hentai.)

You know, it always seemed really stupid to me, but have you ever noticed how in current society (not sure about Japan, tho) women get away with cheating on their partners (one time I heard some woman on TV say “I’m a woman and I deserve the right to go out with other men without my partner’s knowledge” – I shit you not), but when a guy cheats he’s automatically considered the lowest of scum?

Quite annoying.
I’m certain most of the men who admitted to having cheated or hiring prostitutes wouldn’t have done it if their wives/girlfriends agreed to have sex with them more often.

I don’t mind if this happens in hentai but in real world? This is fucked up… Consider a hard working husband working his ass of 10+ hours a day, 6 days a week and get home just to fnd out his wife is banging the mail man…

Problem – Majority of women actively refuse to have sex with their husbands/partners because:
1. Their bodies are ruined thanks to pregnancy (saggy breasts, loose vag, stretch marks, increase in body fat, ruined teeth (caused by breast feeding) etc) to the point where they no longer agree to undress for you
2. The kid takes up 70% of everyone’s time, wakes everyone up multiple times at night, hard to be “in the mood” when you can’t even rest properly. This actually goes for both the man and woman.

What you see in TV shows, handsome actor and a supermodel taking care of a cute clean baby is a massive, utter lie.

>implying vag will eventually completely return to its original, pre-birth state
>implying females don’t develop long-lasting insecurities about the shape of their vag after birth
>implying I never had sex

“This is just some Korean survey designed to make Japan’s women look loose!”

Japanese sure to love to deny everything wrong with their culture, then blame it on ‘Koreans’.

“Enjoy all those STDs.”

And so will their unsuspecting husbands, idiot.

“48.6% reporting their longest affair lasted over 3 years”

That’s actually the worst part, cause it means they’d rather leech off their husband’s financial stability & suck some other dude’s cock than actually move on. NTR doujins were right, Japanese women are like parasites.

Seeing how marriage is often still treated as more of a business or family thing here than a romantic thing, I’m not surprised. I have had friends before who had a long term loving relationship with a girl, only for her to abruptly break it off because she felt pressured to marry someone better for her family. In that kind of atmosphere, who can blame them for looking for some actual romance in their lives rather than staying faithful and sexless to someone they may never have loved in the first place?

I think you are right but the males need to be heard too. I believe that marrige in a modern western soceity is a waste of male potential. When a women gets married she gets babys permanent and almost unlimited access to the man’s penis, bank account, she gets a car a house, a living piggy-bank, a mechanic, and a provider all in the same person (husband). And the man gets… umm… pussy. If! She is in the mood.
Now i would like to note that I am NOT talking about women in general here. I am talking about cheaters who dont really love their husbands. It is better to stay single and live together with a woman than marrying her. Many do that in my country too.

In an age where Japanese men can access the internet and see the beauty of white women at their leisure, is there really any surprise that they don’t want to have much sex with Japanese women? I would say sexless marriages are to be expected. Hell, their manga and anime artists even depict so-called Japanese women with 100% white characteristics almost every single time.

I bet you most of the wives that cheat are wives of the infamous “salarymen”

You know, the poor bastard that works 12 hours a day and has to go drinking with the boss and laugh is his horrible obnoxious jokes. then crawl home at midnight in a drunken stupor and get up 5 hours later and do it all again.

I bet you that you are sitting in your parent’s basement, can of opened gravy in one hand, the other hand in your double xlarge shorts, scratching the yellow, smelly crust off your tiny balls while you read comments on sankakucomplex.

In a society where women only care about money and men only get married because their family(and society) pressure them into it, is it really surprising that that so many end up cheating on their spouses?

Japan social structure is degrading and if this keeps up, Japan may no longer be a country. The next generation of Japanese will suffer from broken homes, lose values, and other negative issues. Its unity is at stake.

Yes they should go back to the past and just hack each other to death. Its not that bad, most of the people cheating should not have gotten married and that is the truth. The are not the type that would not cheat now then or in the future.

i think social services is the thing that fuck Japanese people so hard. Newer generations abusing the right and services what they were made on the thought of keeping people being supported to be as productive before they could find another job.

The fuck you think this is, a school yard bitch fest? You got a mouth on you, get it over down here and bitch in public. Remember what you just mouthed off about, and be ready to get your lips tucked in. Little fucker needs an attitude adjustment, so get over here or scream like a whore elsewhere.

Cheeky little fuck. Sankaku is apprently eating up comments so go bitch elsewhere. You will see the comment in day or two and I expect you to talk some more shit when you show up in public. Let’s see that mouth of yours and how far it gets. Either put up or scram back to your hole.

You’re also presuming that YOU know everything about the rest of the world because of what you read on Sankaku Complex and the rest of the web when you say that “he thinks he knows something about the US trying to figure out identity from behind a monitor.” Are you a fucking hypocrite or something?

If there’s anyone more childish than others on this planet, it’s you Americans. You’re all big-bodied 12-year-olds who think they can do anything they want in other countries and expect no repercussions. That goes for your “asking for it” comment too–if that’s your mentality on most topics, if not everything, then don’t be surprised to be hated by other countries.

You ‘Murica and anti American stereotyping ignorant hordes are all the same. Maybe if you get some higher levels of education in you maybe your stagnant piece of meat up inside your heads you pathetically call brains will actually be worth something.

@7:03
“Typical anti ‘murican mentality?” Hello sir, are you some kind of expert on this subject?

What’s up with all this ‘boy’ shit? Are you some kind of American south hick?

I find it fascinating that you believe your American ‘bad ass’ and disrespectful attitude towards other nations makes you look cool, while everyone else sees it as one of the major reason why they hate your fat, arrogant and ignorant people.

Us MURICANS? Ha learn to spell And to be honest There is Pro’s and Con’s to all countries i hate where i live “America”. Its slowly going to hell I’m not saying America is bad but living there is a pain anyway anyone that judges a country that they just read about or watch is an ass you need to go live there get to know the people the places you need to experience it to get a full understanding 1 person nor 1000 people represent japan as a whole. I went to japan for 2 years as an exchange student it was rough at first with the family but now there like a second family. we went all over i have seen the good and the bad in japan and i still like it there and when i get enough money im going back to say hi to Da 2nd family

From the get go, who the fuck was it that ran its mouth off and was made a bitch to begin with? You, little fucker with a mouth that you can’t control.

Believe me you think you have some kind of international experience to talk shit, go work and live in five different countries like I did. You assume fuck ton thinking ‘Americans don’t have experience’.

Your mouth definitely started shit your ass can’t hold up to now. Don’t bitch out on people and expect not to get slapped around for being mouthy. America this, America that, tell me, where in America do you live and where in America have you been that you are so knowledgeable?

Who the fuck you think ‘Murica was starting shit when your people’s nations spend wee hours like you bitching on a porn site about America?

How old the fuck is this brat? You sure sound like some kids I remember from elementary school 30 years ago when we just got out of national history class.

Watch your lips if you don’t have what it takes to mouth off in public. Otherwise, name your shit and bring that mouth of yours to somewhere everyone can see what a bitch you are for thinking you know shit.

Either put up or shut the fuck up. Let’s see that mouth of yours in public or be a bitch and crawl back to your hole.

Mouth off some more and show everyone what a ‘badass’ you are for stirring up shit you can’t finish. Funny little shit thinks he knows something about US trying to figure out identity from behind a monitor.

Always with ‘fat’ and other childish insults. You sucking on cock with that mouth of yours? It’s real amusing to see some mouthy fools bitching off about how they think they ‘know’ Americans. There’s a reason why they are so condescending – you are asking for it. Like stepping into a ghetto overnight with a ‘Fuck me’ taped to your ass.

It’s strange that their fertility rate is even lower then some of the 1st world nations in the west.

Not to mention western families are actually dragging themselves back together while japanese are on at best stagnation or downward spiral just like their shit economy.

Who would really want those monkey-child faced people anyway? Their women are all flocking to foreigners to get married. I know plenty of japanese girls here, many of them decent looking, and they are all going out with non-japanese people, with increasing number of koreans and chinese taking them as well as whites, blacks and mexicans. Being fucked to pieces no doubt.

I can somewhat see that. I’ve met a few Japanese girls before and as a rule of thumb, foreign males tend to be sought after rather than Japanese ones recently. Something about Japanese men being too timid, work obsessed or running away into fantasy land. Also something to do with how outdated men see women still being common within Japanese culture. That’s not to say whores and gold diggers aren’t around one has said, if anything there are plenty in Japan. But because there’s this endless loop of social collapse, the hole just gets deeper for them.

I’ve known a number of Chinese, American, British, German and Brazillian men to have Japanese wives. Hardly do I ever hear or see of Japanese men having foreign wives.

I’m pretty sure part of the reason the Japanese girls are choosing western guys over Japanese guys may lay in a westerners willingness to express all kinds of love to their girls. Also I assume a westerner makes huge efforts to be around his girl as much as possible with no assumption on how encounters are supposed to be conducted.

Well that’s because 99% of the people here are making up the fact they’re in a relationship when really the closest they’ll ever come to touching a woman is when they have to roll their fat mothers out of bed

You’ll find that misleading titles to enflame the comments section are common on Sankaku. It arbitrarily ups the page-views, thus increases Sankaku’s revenue; as such, it is in its’ best interest to do so, in order to gain more pageviews and obtain the all-so-wonderful monetary currency.

>tfw you remember the figures for male infidelity were part of a separate survey and 2ch was referring to the figure for women rather than the actual survery on men
>tfw try to delete stupid post immediately after making it
>tfw commenting system is broken and deletion and edits of posts is impossible
>tfw this is the front page, so the fact that my comment is worthless means it will probably get upvoted while the good comments get downvoted

Maybe Japanese women are doomed to never be satisfied by. Japanese man. Perhaps they should look to other countries. Either way I find hilarious how you argue the later half of his statement but agree that 100% of Japanese men have small penises

I never hated a hentai, but I hate NTR! I think one of the worst, especially when it ends with the guy just by looking at his girlfriend or wife fucking another guy and ending this way.
At least take revenge or even kill them!!
But finishing in a corner crying is pathetic.

I do not think this situation is only in Japan but in many parts of the world where feminists trying have everything to the point of equal rights be forgotten and only the rights of them worth something.

Marriage is just a title. It’s only meant to “symbolize” the act of loving and cherishing your partner. Putting a material object on his/her finger doesn’t make the love you feel for him/her any more potent. Why do you feel you need to proclaim to the world that you love your partner? Just love them, cherish them and all will be well. After all, you’re loving THEM and not everyone else.

Unless you’re poly, in which case rock on with your bad self. No hate.

>Marriage is also reassurance to yourself that you are ready for that life long relationship<

Kingfisher, no, it's quite on the contrary. It shows you and your partner you trust some entity, that has no business whatsoever with the so-called relationship, more than the partner and yourself. Which means the matter is not very profound as things stand.

And as of the durability fetish, quality takes care of that, if you let it.

Well said KingFisher. But are you on the right site? It seems wierd seeing someone posting thoughtful ideas about love, relationships, & family on this site. I’m thinking those concepts are beyond the understanding of the nuerotic virgins that are reading it.

Marriage is a legal contract. IMO it isn’t done to prove your love (or shouldn’t be the reason). But if you really love someone & want to spend the rest of your life with someone, it should be considered at the very least for financial planning reasons.

You have a point, but think through this more….marriage is a way to keep families together. Sure you don’t need some piece of paper to proclaim your love, but Marriage is a binding vow. Swearing to a life long commitment with your partner. It’s a reminder of that vow. Any two couples can be in love. But words only go so far. Each partner will later on probably want insurance that they love them and only them. And like all human beings, its a psychological thing. There will always be uneasiness and worry. Also when a couple has kids its, there is moral obligation for you and your spouse to do what’s best for the kids. Without marriage I think it makes it easier for someone to cheat on their spouse and later come up with excuses for their cheating. Marriage is a reminder of the life long commitment towards family. Having a family and taking care of them is a lot of stress and even the best of people will maybe for a second or two think to run away from their family. I don’t mind free love, but the idea of riding a life long commitment towards your partner on just words alone doesn’t say much in today’s society. Marriage is also reassurance to yourself that you are ready for that life long relationship. The people who can have life long relationship with one partner and not need to use the setup of marriage are really unique. Most people aren’t that strong and need that symbol.

Marriage isn’t even about romance at all, it was created centuries ago as a way to unite two families for whatever reasons under some kind of divine mutual consentment, usually because of goods, lands or peace treaties.

The institution isn’t even needed for a couple to love each other while the feelings lasts, people marry as if this will make one love each other forever and everything will be okay because they are now chained by the law, but no one is prepared to live the illusion to protect the family created after the romance ends.

Of course, some couples are lucky enough to make this work, but many are just marrying because society tells them to do so.

That sounded like if a conscription commission supervisor was being apologetic to a candidate he ruled out from forcible draft. Scientists often find out it’s not quite that lab mice like cheese so much that they can be put through the motions with it. The one man’s meat may need veterinary attention or be plain rotten.

All these comments are pretty funny…it is amusing when people pretend their failures at life were a “choice”. Usually what people are insecure about not achieving (but want) is very thing they go out of their way to try to convince everyone else they don’t care about it.

Example: “The hell with women. I will never get married”

Translation: “I am lonely. I sure do wish I had someone special in my life”

to find a girl is freaking easy, the problem is you’ll need to stop to watch animes and play games frequently. Then fuck this, girls are money whores, could NTR ya and even stalk you if you don’t want her anymore. too problematic. Eroges are better
